Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: I'm Only Sleeping (Take 1)
Lyrics for Album: Anthology (Part 2) [1996]



When I wake up early in the morning,

Lift my head, I'm still yawning

When I'm in the middle of a dream

Stay in bed, float up stream



Please don't wake me, no

don't shake me

Leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping



Everybody seems to think I'm lazy

I don't mind, I think they're crazy

Running everywhere at such a speed

Till they find, there's no need



Please don't spoil my day

I'm miles away

And after all

I'm only sleeping



Keeping an eye on the world going by my window

Taking my time



Lying there and staring at the ceiling

Waiting for a sleepy feeling



Please don't spoil my day

I'm miles away

And after all

I'm only sleeping



Keeping an eye on the world going by my window

Taking my time



When I wake up early in the morning,

Lift my head, I'm still yawning

When I'm in the middle of a dream

Stay in bed, float up stream



Please don't wake me, no

don't shake me

Leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping


I'm Only Sleeping (Take 1)

Released on The Beatles' 1996 Anthology (Part 2) compilation, this recording captures the band's dynamic interplay during a live session. The track features Paul McCartney's distinctive vocal performance, layered with the group's signature harmonies and instrumental arrangements that defined their mid-1960s sound. As a studio-processed live take, it offers a glimpse into the band's improvisational energy and technical proficiency. The song stands as a testament to The Beatles' ability to blend polished production with raw musical spontaneity, reflecting their enduring influence on rock music and vocal harmony. Its inclusion in the Anthology series highlights the band's commitment to preserving their extensive discography and showcasing lesser-known performances alongside their most famous hits.
